Family Trees by Steven Beek
Welcome
to the SAXAKALI
community.
We are a group of environmentally conscious women, men and children with a keen interests in exploring both local and global issues. Here, you'll find lots to see, hear and read, including African, American and Asian history and culture in COLOR AfterSchool Program (CAP), African Historian Ronoko Rashidi and other writers in Saxakali Publications, and environmental issues in Saxakali Magazine.
Take the opportunity to become actively involved in a Campaign, an Ongoing Discussion, take a virtual tour of a local Eco-site in South America, or view photography by Sushila Patil of South Asians. You can also brouse our BookStore or shop for eco-friendly products at the Saxakali Bazaar. Come in and take a look around.
Our Mission
Saxakali takes its name from an indigenous Amerindian community in Guyana, South America (see map). Saxakali is a voluntary, non-profit grassroots organization dedicated to ecological, feminist, social and cultural issues. We seek to plant seeds of critical thought and foster growth of cooperative relationships among the youth culture.
Organization Profile
Saxakali provides an education and documentation service to individuals and groups, and conducts awareness raising campaigns among various communities. We organize an annual environmental conference and co-sponsor meetings with community leaders. The organization publishes Saxakali Magazine bi-annually; and prints other educational materials under Saxakali Publications.
In recognition of our work and activities completed during 1995-1996, the Saxakali organization was awarded the Walter Rodney Award in November, 1996, by the group he founded, the Working People's Alliance (WPA), at their annual members' conference "for works in the spirit of self-emancipation contributing to greater personal freedom and community well-being."
